PRESENCE OF MIND.
How Senator Evarts Once Made . Telling
 Hit Before a Jury.

Hit Before 8 Jury.
 At New York City, in the fall of 1S6-, case was tried before Judge Suther- land, in which the law firm of Evarts, Southmayd & Choate appeared for the defense. Mir. Evarts made the con- cluding argument, and the fame of the great counselor secured for him con- siderable audience of lawyers from neighboring courts, in addition to many persons who had more or less interest in the proceedings.
 MT. Eyarts had been speaking for some hours and was evidently nearing his peroration. He began to sum up his arguments, and asked, impressively, what answer could be made to them. Again he placed the points in lucid array, and again asked a similar ques- ton. Then third time he restated his case with vivid eloquence, and once more, in louder tones, wound up with:
 ''What is their answer"
 He paused. You could have heard a pin drop. Suddenly the door of the courtroom opened, and a peddler. stick ing his head and feather-d uster into the opening, cried out:
 "Broomsr'
 In moment the room was ringing with uncomfortable laughter in which every body joined-even the judge on the bench and the orator himself MT. Evarts, however. kept on his feet, and was the first to recover composure With his hand raised to command at tention, as the roar subsided, he said solennly:
 That was not, indeed, the reply which expected. But you may rest assured that when you do get their answer you will find it equally frivolous and inconsequent. "-Anaerican Maga- zine.

The Elegantly Equipped Floating Palace
 of the Newspaper Millionaire.
 James Gordon Bennett has one of the swel,est yachts in the world. It is a boat of seven hundred tons burden, almost as large as any of the old-style Cunarders. It takes 8 crew of fifty men to run it, with six walters to serve the tables for Bennett and his guests. A friend, who has just returned from Europe and has been cruising on Mir. Bennett's boat, said that life on his craft was dream. A French cook furnished the finest eating, and an AL derney COW is carried in zinc stall on the boat, so that the choicest of fresh milk could be had at every meal. The daily life was an inspiration. In the morning coffee and fruit were served in tfe state-rooms before the people arose. Then a bath, where servant was furnished, who rubbed the guest down with the choicest Turkish towels. Then marmalade and sweets. and about one o'clock breakfast in elegant shape. Dinner in the evening, with all the surroundings that would tend to make a man satisfied with his lot In this way MT. Bennett sees the world. He is everywhere recognized as man of strong talents and sterling executive ability. If he should try he could make himself power anywhere. Hisincome is certainly more than $500. 900 a year, and what does if mean fo him or. to his country? He is forty-six years old and still unmarried. Unless he soon finds mate, the vast estate which he has in. herited will go to those who can moi transmit to posterity the name or tht fame of the Bennetts. Brooklyn Union

A curious ear of corn was brought to the Sun office yesterday. It was grown in Utica by Edward Jones, and is now owned by Daniel L. Jones, v McKibbin street, Brooklyn. The am- bilious corn stalk attempted to grow a half bushel of corn on one stem, and would have succeeded if each ear had reached its full size. It started thirteen ears on one stem, and grew them until the middle one is about eight inches long, and the dozen surrounding ears are each about half as big. It is areg- ular thirteen combine, and two of it's members have broken loose.

rock, and it was as the pillar was. And 1t
had fallen 20 sooni there had been such little
span of happiness and hopei And so she sat,
like stony sphinx, and Bessie wept softly be-
fore her, like beautiful, breathing, loving
human suppliant and the two formed pic
ture and contrast such as the student OF
human nature does not often get the chance
Of seeing.
1t was the elder sister who spoke first after
all.
"well, DEAR she said, "what are you cry
ing abouti You love Capt Mel, and you be-
lieve that he loves you. Surely this is nothing
to cry about"

more cheerfully; "but I was thinking how
dreadful it would be IL lost him"

jess; "and now. dear, really must 60 to bed.
I am so tired. Good night, my dear; God
bless you'll I think that you have made q
very wise choice. Capt. Mel is a man whom
any woman might love and be proud Of
loving"
In another mir ute she was In her room, and
there her compos1re left her, for she was but
loving woman after ALL She flung herself
upon her bed, and, hiding her face in the pill
low, burst into q paroxysm Of weeping--a
very different thing from Bessies gentle
tears. Her grief absolutely convulsed her,
and she pushed the bed clothes against her
mouth to prevent the sound of it penetrating
the partition walls and reaching John Niel's
ears, for his room was next to hers. Even In
the midst of her suffering the thought Of the
irony of the thing forced itself into her mind.
There, separated from her only by few
inches of lath and plaster and some four or
Eve feet of space, was the man for whom she
mourned thus, and yet he was as ignorant of
it as though he were thousands of miles away.
Sometimes, at such acute crises In our lives.
the limitations Of our physical nature do
strike us in this sort of way. It Is strange to
be so near and yet so far, and 1T brings the

forcible and at times almost terrible. John
Mel going composedly to sleep, his mind
happy with the recollection of those two right

feet away, and sobbing out her stormy heart
over him, are after all but types of what Is
continually going on In this remarka-
BILE world How often do we understand one
apother's griefa and, when we do, by what
standard can we measure its More especially
is comprehension rare il we happen to be the
original cause of the trouble. Do we think
of the feelings Of the beetles it is our painful
duty to crush into nothingness! Not at all.
II we have any compunctions, they are

we set our foot upon the poor victim by pure
accident or venal carelessuess.
